Well,
honestly I cannot understand why when someone critics a nikon product or nikon strategy, suddenly some people attacks him.
The OP (imho) wrote something serious: today the m4/3 are very competitive with DX cameras. This is a fact.
Is what follows fact or that the OP was serious?
I've sold all of my nikon gear and UPGRADED (yes you have read well) to m4/3:
Olympus OM-D + Oly 45 f/18 +kit lens + Pana 20 f1.7.
Previously I had Nikon DSLRs (D40 -> D80 -> D90 -> D7000 + several lenses and flashes).
I think that the DSLR "concept" is old and too complicated (i.e. needs lens calibrations) and today we have m4/3 systems that are on pair with DX systems.
Would you rather have a DX sized sensor in your Olympus OM-D?
I'm not tied to a sensor size as long as it give good results
My Olympus OMD is a better camera (imho) than my Nikon D7000
here is why:
1. AF way more precise and "istantaneous"
How so? For examples the EVF lags by definition.
2. Water resistant body and kit lens
So is D7000
No, the D7000 has not sealed battery door or sealed body
3. Superb color rendition
Same with DSLR
Well, Fuji and Olympus JPG engine is far superior to the Nikon one...
4. Hi ISO on par with my D7000
Close
Yes, close, you are right
5. Every bottun can be customized
That's fun but can get very confusing when you hand it to a friend
All of my friends was confused too when I gave them my D7000
6. Smaller and lighter
The real upgrade reason. I don't like it as I have normal to large hands and that makes M4/3 a bit of a downgrade for me regards ergonomics.
Yes, smaller somethimes is worse ergonomics, you are right
7. Very effective 5 axis in-body-stabilization
Lens Stab is also very effective.
Close. But IBIS means that all of my lenses are stabilized (not only the VR ones)
In addition there are "stellar" lenses that are olso cheap like the 45 f1.8 or the Panasonic 20 1.7
Just not really fast...hate giving up DOF
That's a matter of taste... I can obtain bautiful and creamy bokeh with my m4/3 lenses... with a little longer DOF...
Well... I can honestly say that m43 rivals the DSLR and adds some benefits...
rival or perhaps come close but also include some disadvantage as well
Yesm some disadvantages... but in my balance I see more advantages
Herese is some photographers that jumped too

Pretty small group compared to the numbers moving the other direction. M4/3 sales seem to be dropping vs increasing in market share.
I don't know if m4/3 is loosing market
Your was a well thought out post with many excellent points. Thank you
Thank you to you Mako !
